SUMMARY

The automatic "Top Of Form" adjustment for the Okidata 9- and 24-pin dot-matrix printers is not supported under the Microsoft Windows. The paper must be adjusted so that the top of the page or perforation is right above the print head.

MORE INFORMATION

The Okidata 9- and 24-pin printers provide an automatic Top Of Form adjustment. To make this adjustment, load in the tractor-feed paper so that the paper is just grabbing on a few of the pins. Then pull back the lever on the left towards the front of the printer; this process should automatically feed the paper to the correct position. Push the lever towards the back of the printer. The printer knows that the print head is about 7/8-inch down from the top of the page; however, Windows needs it right at the top.
